Working with Sequences

All elements of a sequence process are divided into two categories:

  • standard element
  • container

A new sequence process consists of a single empty container:

At its core, a sequence process can only have one Sequence container, which will contain all the scenario logic.

The display scale of the process can be changed using a special control located in the lower right corner:

Adding Elements

To add elements to the Sequence container, you need to drag the desired component from the Elements panel to the triangle of the container. At the same time, a green frame should appear around the triangle:

New containers are added in a similar way, as well as elements are added to each of the subcontainers:

Moving Elements

There are two ways to move elements within a process:

  1. Drag and Drop. You need to grab the element’s header with the mouse and move it to the desired triangle, while a green frame appears around the triangle:

  1. Using the Clipboard. Select the desired element by clicking on it with the mouse, or select multiple elements by holding down the Ctrl key. Then click the Copy sequence6.png or Cut sequence7.png button on the Common menu tab (you can also select these functions from the context menu of the selected element or use the hotkeys Ctrl+C and Ctrl+X). To move, select the element after which you need to insert, or the container inside which you should insert the component from the clipboard. Then click the Paste sequence8.png button or the key combination Ctrl+V.

To move an element to a new sequence, you can use the corresponding item in the context menu:

Managing Elements

If an element takes up too much space, you can collapse it by clicking the Collapse sequence10.png button. It is located on the element’s panel. The collapsed element can be fully displayed again by clicking the Expand sequence11.png button.

To delete an element, select it with the mouse and use the Del key. To delete multiple elements - select them by holding down the Ctrl key, then press Del.

The sequence12.png symbol on the element’s panel indicates that there are errors in it. When you hover the mouse over the icon, a tooltip will appear with the contents of the errors:

Working with Changes

To undo the last change, use the Undo sequence14.png button on the Common menu tab or the key combination Ctrl+Z.

The Redo sequence15.png button is intended to return the last undone action, as well as the key combination Ctrl+Y.

In case of changes to the process, the symbol *:

sequence16.png will appear in the title of the tab.

When attempting to close the tab of a modified process, a corresponding message will be displayed:

Starting from version 1.25.5, a new “Skip Step” button is available in debug mode: it temporarily pauses execution.
